DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2004, the City Council accepted a $15 million Urban Area
Security Initiative grant from the federal Department of Homeland
Security, through the State of California, Office of Homeland Security.
This ini tiati ve was designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of
urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have adequate
equipment and systems to prevent, respond to and recover from acts of
terrorism. The grant provides total reimbursement to local agencies for
equipment purchases approved and authorized by the federal Office of
Domestic Preparedness.
On March 3, 2005 the Fire Department issued a Request for Proposal for a
mobile data computer system in order to enhance access and connectivity
to critical data. The system provides access to information such as the
computer aided dispatch, the records management system, and the
geographic information systems to emergency first responders via a
wireless mechanism.
Request for Proposals were sent to fourteen potential vendors and three
proposals were received. The proposals were reviewed, evaluated and
rated on criteria including solution provided, expertise, and total
integration. The evaluation rating for the three vendors is as follows:
